The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A hectic, challenging twin-stick shooter where each run throws procedurally generated corridors and enemies at you, demanding quick reflexes and punishing every mistake with permadeath.

What players say

Players describe Iron Dungeon as a short roguelike run-and-gun with twin-stick shooting and platforming, praising its variety of character modifiers and enemy types. However, many say it needs polishing, citing broken passives and textures that block the view. Difficulty is seen as above average but fair.
